Pressed reply too quickly - Happened to be reading this the other day and it sounded relevant. Perhaps seek out a dog trainer, are there any triggers to the aggression?

This to a t! :)

Not hoping for the best because i'm a cynic, quite simply. I read it as 2 acres free and have 2 acres to clear - with 8 "rescued" horses. Who knows though, it's not the best worded advert. It also states they're requiring hay for free - surely that is necessary for rescue horses?

How can you establish yourselves as a horse rescue and cannot even provide basic care? http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/108317728/horse-rescue.html ETA - Am I reading that correctly...8 horses on 2 acres? :S

Thank-you, Sally! :)

Could some of you post some pictures to illustrate some healthy and well-shod hooves? What are we looking for when it comes to good shoeing? Thanks in advance.

This. ^

We tell them the horses are only in gentle exercise as they are all old, knackered & rescued!

I don't personally believe this is true at all but wanted some expert opinions! Some one told me this morning that riding a horse bareback, who is around 20 years old & sound as a pound, could damage his back because he is elderly..? I would have thought that there is no difference...

I've currently got a strained tendon & am still riding - I just take my stirrups away or go bareback so there is no pressure on my foot. Be warned, getting off is slightly painful!

Thank-you. Makes interesting reading.

I'm just confused on what they were trying to achieve? :confused:

Where did you find the picture, was there any article alongside? Shocking.

I'm guessing where I read that, they mistook character for a difficult horse. Thanks for the replies. I've always loved CB's, they look like my ideal horse. The queen's CB's are lovely! :D
